I doubt this particular set of DMA patches is going to go into the mainline kernel. However, I think Marvell is working on their own patches now and they'll definitely aim for mainline inclusion. > I read in one of your posts earlier that marvell was working on > improving the LAN driver for the orion SoC.

There have been significant improvements in 2.6.27 and 2.6.28, but I'm not sure how much performance increase they'll give on this hardware exactly. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
